Woman stalked despite moving away from man

A man violated a court order to stay away from a woman when he went to her temporary home on Hawthorne Extension Thursday morning, beat on her door and threatened to kill her, Athens-Clarke police said.

The 38-year-old victim had an “ongoing domestic situation” with Allen Pope Jr., 65, police said, and a judge last month signed an order forbidding Pope from having any contact with her.

Police did not say what type of relationship the man had with the woman, but she moved to get away from him.

Pope, of 292 The Plaza, was charged with aggravated stalking and terroristic threats and acts, police said.
